We have visited WDW for the last 7 years now and we used taxis for the first 5 of those. We visited SW, US, IOA, Premium Outlets and Walmart by taxi from WDW. The cost was roughly about 30 dollars each way. For our last 2 holidays we have hired a car and we have found it has added so much to the enjoyment of the holiday. It allows us to be so much more flexible and we now visit Walmart 4 or 5 times during the holiday to stock up on beer, soft drinks, phone cards, sun lotion, etc. Disney prices are so high and I really begrudge paying 5 dollars for a small can of Budweiser in the Disney shops.

I would get quotes off www.carhireflorida.net/page/young-drivers
and Usrentacar.co.uk but get quotes for the full week and compare to just the weekend. Its possible there is not much difference.

Yes I had been looking at the difference between a weekend and the whole week the renting wasnt the problem it was the surcharge

Oh really I never thought about a bus sorry what is TTC

The Transportation and ticket centre at Magic Kingdom.

Just compared the cost, The young drivers surcharge is £20 for 2 days £50 for 7 days, seems fair enough.

Small car
2 days £58 + £20 surcharge = £78
7 days £137 + £50 surcharge = £187

Both include all taxes and a tank of gas (thats probably worth £20-25)
Prices from USrentacar.co.uk

oh right thank you is that all payble before you leave?

 

[wayneg]

Yes you book before you go and pay upfront. Nothing else is needed locally unless you want it.

Always book a taxi trip to walmart on first day. We travel from the Boardwalk and the cost is $25 each way roughly. It does vary if you hit all the lights etc as you are charged waiting time. But on average $25 including tip.
$160 round trip did you leave the driver waiting outside for you?

Through USRENTACAR Alamo Young Persons Insurance is showing at £50 for two week hire!!! Before i book i have one question, because you have to book with the gold package (includes all insurance and tank of fuel) to get the YPI do you still get the perks of the gold package, i.e All insurances, airport charges, tank of fuel etc??...I'm a little confused about the following line...

"YDP insurance in conjunction with the GOLD rate includes 1 driver (21-24), 3 drivers over 24 and your first tank of fuel, any remaining drivers under 25 will be liable to pay the young drivers fee locally"

 

[tinks_1989]

I am totally confussed i dont understand it at all I can only ever find it where the Under 25 insurance has to be paid

If your confused as to where the YPI add on is on usrentacar...Search for your dates, click on Gold package for Alamo (or Budget but for me Alamo comes up £50 for YPI whereas Budget is £100..not sure if this is a temp offer?) then click 'Book'. After that a message telling you that you need to pay a local $25 fee for under 25yrs drivers will appear unless you go for the YPI. Click accept and then you will get an option of adding the YPI! If your confused about something else, sorry!

Whats confusing you with this?
Its saying you can have 1 driver age 21-24 + 3 drivers over 24 but if you have more than 1 young driver they will have to pay locally.

Don't know about the £50 for 2 weeks, never heard of that, great deal if it comes off.

I am confussed because i can not see the YPI button or selection it just comes up that a $25 surcharge perday will be made payable locally

Just wanting to double check that the YPI doesn't void the Gold perks and we'll have to pay loads of crap locally. I've heard alot of people say they thought it was all paid for and on arrival had to shed out loads more to get the car....Like you say it's a very good deal, i'm trying to figure our a catch. Definately says....

Alamo Young Drivers Package : 50.00 (GBP) (Prepayable)

£100 with Budget
